Notes:
1)  EA.com marketing and sales includes $4,466K of Carriage Fee for
    the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.
2)  EA.com development includes $11,998K of Network Development and
    Support and $2,137K of CRMD for the three months ended September
    30, 2002; and includes $15,170K of Network Development and Support
    and $2,996K of CRMD for the three months ended September 30, 2001.
3)  EA Core maintained approximately 85% retained interest in EA.com
    through August 2002 and maintains approximately 88% retained
    interest in EA.com thereafter and is reflected in the Net income
    (loss) -- GAAP for EA Core. The pro forma statements exclude the
    retained interest allocation.
4)  The provision for (benefit from) income taxes was allocated
    between EA Core and EA.com at the worldwide effective tax rate
    (31%) based on each segment's pro rata share of income or loss.
    The sum of tax provision (benefit) for EA Core and EA.com is the
    same as consolidated tax provision.
5)  Due to the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2001,
    stock options have been excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation.
    Had income been reported for this period, an additional 5,443,000
    shares would have been added to diluted common shares for Class A
    common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2001.

Notes:
1)  EA.com marketing and sales includes $8,932K of Carriage Fee for
    the six months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.
2)  EA.com development includes $24,111K of Network Development and
    Support and $4,344K of CRMD for the six months ended September 30,
    2002; and includes $32,045K of Network Development and Support and
    $5,910K of CRMD for the six months ended September 30, 2001.
3)  EA Core maintained approximately 85% retained interest in EA.com
    through August 2002 and maintains approximately 88% retained
    interest in EA.com thereafter and is reflected in the Net income
    (loss) - GAAP for EA Core. The pro forma statements exclude the
    retained interest allocation.
4)  The provision for (benefit from) income taxes was allocated
    between EA Core and EA.com at the worldwide effective tax rate
    (31%) based on each segment's pro rata share of income or loss.
    The sum of tax provision (benefit) for EA Core and EA.com is the
    same as consolidated tax provision.
5)  Due to the net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2001,
    stock options have been excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation.
    Had income been reported for this period, an additional 5,784,000
    shares would have been added to diluted common shares for Class A
    common stock for the six months ended September 30, 2001.
